What is the European Political Community, the continent’s intergovernmental organization?

Bu bölüm hakkında

The European Political Community was launched in 2022 to discuss the future of Europe, mainly in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron first suggested the EPC’s creation in a speech to the European Parliament back in early May. Less than six months later, the first summit was held in Prague. Despite initially opposed to the creation of the EPC back in June as Foreign Secretary, Liz Truss was in attendance in Prague. It’s thought she still remains somewhat skeptical, she made it clear she doesn’t want the new organisation to “cut across” NATO and the G7. Regardless, the UK will host the fourth EPC meeting in early 2024, after Moldova and Spain take their turn. Why was the European Political Community created?
